Earlier in the day, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps claimed attacks on US assets at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan, in response to recent US strikes on Iran. The US military has not confirmed any damage or casualties. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi separately urged Bulgaria and Cyprus on Thursday to prevent the US from using bases on their soil for attacks on Iran, citing UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 on acts of aggression. Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova said Sofia backs diplomacy. Cyprus said it has contacted Britain to ensure its bases are not used against any country. The exchanges follow a pause in recent tit-for-tat strikes between Washington and Tehran. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Tags: Bahrain, drone strikes, Gulf tensions, Iran, Sheikh Isa Air Base, US Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-claims-drone-strikes-on-us-assets-in-bahrain-base/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
